Description: | Several dockers were prosecuted in 1951 under Anti-strike Order 1301, charged with conspiring to spread a strike. Fellow dockers united in an east London park to support both them and a campaign to abolish the 'call-on' system of casual labour in the docks.
Henry Grant took several photographs documenting the strike, including this group portrait. A photograph of dockers clutching union cards was published in the Daily Worker newspaper where Grant's wife, Rose, worked as a journalist. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London | Subjects: | work Public services Power and Politics | Temporal: | February 1951 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
